Within the framework of the Companies' own technical and operational possibilities Remoteplatz allows the Companies to participate in the Service. Remoteplatz provides all services in connection with the Service for Companies solely based on these Terms of Service (hereinafter referred to as "Company Terms of Service" or “Terms of Service”).

Remoteplatz objects to the validity of any general terms and conditions of Companies. General terms and conditions of Companies become an integral part of the agreement between the Company and Remoteplatz, only if Remoteplatz explicitly consents to them in writing.

Remoteplatz can utilize the services of independent third parties for the Service ( "Third Party Service" ) such as app stores and social networks. No third party services are provided by third parties upon the instruction of Remoteplatz. Third party services are not provided by Remoteplatz. Remoteplatz or the third party will identify these services in a suitable manner. Any issues in connection with third party services are not affected by these Terms of Service. Remoteplatz shall not be responsible for third party services. Third party services are potentially subject to their providers' general terms and conditions.

Remoteplatz provides the Service solely for use in accordance with these Terms of Service. Automated login is prohibited. Only the official clients and apps or websites provided by Remoteplatz may be used to connect to the Service. The Talent may not create, support, host, link or provide any other options, which can be used by other persons to utilize the Service.

The Company is prohibited from transferring his/her Account to third parties without the prior written consent of Remoteplatz.

The Company is not entitled to use any means, mechanisms or software in connection with the Service, which can disturb functions of the Service. The Company may not undertake any action, which can result in an unreasonable or excess load of the technical capacities of Remoteplatz. In particular, the Company is not permitted to block, overwrite or modify the contents generated by Remoteplatz unless Remoteplatz has permitted it specifically in writing.

The Company will refrain from anything that could endanger the performance and availability of the Service.

By using the Service, the Company will not violate any applicable legal provisions such as the criminal code or third party rights and the Company assures not to contribute or transmit any illegal or immoral contents to the Service. This includes specifically any contents (including member names, etc.),

1. which are, false, inaccurate or misleading

In addition, the Company is not permitted to disseminate in the Service unauthorized any third party work that is protected by copyrights or other rights. Moreover, the Company is not allowed to refer to offers with such content.

Remoteplatz is entitled to stop such violations against this Section 2. In addition, Remoteplatz is entitled to delete the breaching contents of the Company. The same applies to definite indications of a violation against these Terms of Service to contents, which are otherwise illegal. There is no entitlement to the recovery of breaching deleted content. Such a claim is also voided if the restoration is not possible for technical reasons.

Without the prior express written consent of Remoteplatz, any blocked Company is prohibited from creating a new account. If this ban was circumvented, then Remoteplatz has the right to block this Account permanently without prior announcement.

The provisions of this Section 2 do not limit the termination right of Remoteplatz — particularly the right to terminate effective immediately — in accordance with Section 11. In addition, they do not limit the right of Remoteplatz to exercise the virtual domiciliary right.

Remoteplatz provides the Service to connect Talent and Companies. The Service works as follows: Talent sign-up to the Service and make a profile available. Companies provide a profile after concluding the Recruiting Partnership Agreement. This profile is only visible to Talents that the Companies are interested in as defined below. Companies can browse the Talent profiles in a list and detailed view and decide to apply to the respective Talent by sending an interview request through the detailed view. These interview requests come with a first, non-binding offer proposal of what compensation package the company has in mind. Talent can review the interview requests and are now able to browse the profiles of Companies that have sent the requests. The Talent can accept or reject the interview request. If rejected, the Company may (upon choice of the Talent) recontact the Talent with a revised proposal. If accepted, Remoteplatz connects Talent and Company.

Once a Talent has been viewed by a Company in the detailed view it is considered to be introduced by Remoteplatz ( “Introduction” ). If Talent and Company had been introduced in the past twelve months before the Introduction directly or by a third party and Company does not inform Remoteplatz about this within five business days in writing and substantive materials showing the introduction, the Talent is considered to have been introduced by Remoteplatz. Email or the Service are sufficient media in this matter. A Talent is considered to be already introduced directly or by a third party when there is a written communication concerning the Talent, with a clear identification of the Talent and the Company and with a clear identification of the opportunity to hire the Talent.

Remoteplatz may from time to time, but is under no obligation to, suggest a specific Talent to a Company or vice versa. The Talent is then also seen as introduced. This can be done via email, messaging service or phone.

Remoteplatz undertakes reasonable efforts to match Talent and Companies, however, Remoteplatz does under no circumstances represent, assume a warranty or guarantee or undertake in any other way that Talent or Company will find a match through Remoteplatz and/or the Service.

Company shall submit the information about the Company requested in the compulsory and voluntary fields of the sign-up form.

Remoteplatz may add compulsory or voluntary fields from time to time. Remoteplatz may also request additional information from Company on a case by case basis. The Company shall not transmit any personal data (i.e. data allowing identification of an individual) to Remoteplatz, unless data protection laws allow for such transmission or Company has obtained consent from the concerned parties.

Unless otherwise provided in these Terms of Service, Remoteplatz will usually communicate with the Company via email. The Company shall make sure that it receives all emails sent by Remoteplatz to the address submitted in the course of the application, or at a later date. The Company will in particular configure the spam filter accordingly and regularly check all incoming email under this address. Remoteplatz may choose any other appropriate means of communication.

The Company shall keep all access data (login, passwords etc.) for the Service ( “Access Data” ) strictly confidential. The Company shall promptly inform Remoteplatz in case it learns or suspects that an unauthorized third person is in possession of the Access Data.

In case Remoteplatz has reason to believe that an unauthorized third party is in possession of Access Data, Remoteplatz may, without assuming any responsibility to do so, and always acting in its sole discretion, change the Access Data without prior notice or block the respective account. Remoteplatz will promptly inform the Company and will, upon request, communicate the new Access Data to the Company without undue delay. The Company cannot claim to have its initial Access Data restored.

In case a third party uses Access Data, with the Company at fault, the Company’s Access Data, the Company is liable for all such actions, and for damages. In such event, all access through the Company’s Access Data shall be considered as an access by the Company.

During the term of the Agreement, the Company will not induce, or assist in the inducement of, any employee of Remoteplatz or any of its affiliates to leave their employment with Remoteplatz or any of its affiliates. This shall apply to the extent permissible under Sec. 75 of the German Commercial Code.

Remoteplatz is not responsible for providing or assisting with the obtaining of any work or other permits and/or medicals and other country specific regulations and requirements that may be necessary to employ the Talent unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Remoteplatz is relying on the information provided by the Talent. Company has the obligation to satisfy itself, that the Talent is suitable for the intended job and fits Company's requirements.

Company undertakes to inform Remoteplatz in writing (through the service or via email is sufficient) as soon as possible, but no later than the number of days specified in the Recruiting Partnership Agreement if an introduced Talent is hired or otherwise contracted by Company ( “Placement” ). The notification shall include a copy of the original employment contract which must include the start date, the date the contract was signed and information about the Salary as defined in Section 5.3 below. Remoteplatz may contact Company to request status updates about ongoing negotiations.

Placement shall mean any form of employment, temporary employment, contracting or other use of Talent by Company or an undertaking affiliated with Company in the sense of Sec. 15ff. of the German Stock Company Act.

If Talent is placed pursuant to Section 5.2 during the period of an Introduction, Remoteplatz will receive a commission as specified in the Recruiting Partnership Agreement, of the Talents salary ( “Salary” ). Salary shall include the gross base salary or fees, bonus (guaranteed and/or anticipated), commissions, allowances, inducement payments, shift allowances, location weighting and call-out allowances, and all other compensation the Talent receives or is anticipated to receive during the first year of his placement. Excluded is compensation paid by Company to Talent to compensate expenditures (e.g. travel, relocation, visa application) as well as any equity, share options or similar compensation options. To clarify: bonuses based on company performance are not excluded. Company undertakes to inform Remoteplatz about the Salary upon notifying Remoteplatz about the placement.

If the Placement is for less than twelve months, Remoteplatz’s commission will be calculated on a pro-rata basis. Subsequent hires, prolongations, extensions or similar will be added to the pro-rata calculation until the level as defined in Section 5.3 is reached. This is done for a period of up to twenty-four months from the initial placement. Company must notify Remoteplatz pursuant to Section 5.1.

Payment terms are governed by the Recruiting Partnership Agreement.

Company is entitled to refunds if the Placement is terminated. A placement is defined as terminated if the termination notice is signed and in effect within the time specified in the Recruiting Partnership Agreement. The refund is subject to the conditions set forth in the Recruiting Partnership Agreement and paid out within 14 days upon issuing of the credit note.

Company has to inform Remoteplatz in writing within five business days about any rehiring or similar of the Talent for a period of twelve months after termination. In this case, Remoteplatz is entitled to reclaim the refund and will issue an invoice. The Payment terms of Section 5.5 apply.

Company has to transmit the signed agreement to Remoteplatz as proof of the conclusion of the agreement and for the invoicing processes.

Remoteplatz reserves the right to change the fee, to be effective as of the following period of renewal. Remoteplatz shall notify the Company of any fee change in the invoice sent to the Company with regard to the period of renewal. In the event of a price increase, the Company is entitled to submit to Remoteplatz within four (4) weeks of the date of invoice a written declaration of withdrawal from the agreement with retroactive effect from the date of the renewal.

If the consultants have not received notification from the customer in accordance with Section 5.1 of the General Terms and Conditions within 14 days of the Talent's acceptance of the offer, they have the right to invoice a flat-rate commission of EUR 10,000 from the customer. Upon late notification by the customer, any differences between the flat-rate and the commission incurred will be reimbursed by the consultant retrospectively.

Company explicitly agrees to withhold completely from entering a relation with or from approaching Talent either directly or through third parties, especially recruiters with regard to the Placement of introduced Talent. The period introduction as defined in the Recruiting Partnership Agreement shall apply.

Any direct or indirect business relations between Company and Talent or recruiters with regard to the above named services and respective Talent have to either involve Remoteplatz as intermediary or require Remoteplatz’s prior written consent.

Company is personally responsible to follow this commitment and must not use any means to circumvent its obligation.

Breach of this clause will result in a contractual penalty to be determined by Remoteplatz’s exercise of its reasonable discretion, subject to review by an independent court in Remoteplatz’s residential country and should not be less than five times the financial loss caused through this unauthorized action with a minimum fee of 25,000 EUR.

An obligation to reimburse damages will thereby not be excluded.

In case Company can prove having entered into a business relationship with recruiters or Talent in regards to the respective Talent before the Introduction of the Talent through the Service, this Section 6 shall not be enforced.

It is in the nature of the Service that it is continuously advanced and updated. By changing and advancing the Service, Remoteplatz intends to provide Companys a useful Service and pleasant Company experience. Therefore, Remoteplatz grants the Company access to the Service in its available form or version. Changes and advancements can affect system requirements and compatibility requirements. The Company has no claim for maintaining or reconstruction of a specific condition of scope of services.

Due to the continuous advancement of the Service, Remoteplatz reserves itself the right to offer new features and/or to remove them from the Service or to change them. The Company consents these continuous changes of the Service.
